Well my first one was born before the POTC movies came out, but I did smile that his first and middle names are the names of POTC characters. Edward (first name of Captain Teague, Jack's father) and William.

And giggled upon watching Edward Scissorhands to realize Edward and Kevin are names from that.

And oh, while Liam Neeson might have inspired me to name my youngest Liam, I had forgotten that the name was in another movie I love dearly, Secret of Roan Inish.

That's one of my favourites, too!

You are only young once. After that you have to think up some other excuse.

If you like that movie, you might like this book trilogy, called the Seal Island Trilogy. The first one is Selkie Spell, followed by Selkie Enchantress and she just released Selkie Sorceress on Thursday, I think it was.

I fully anticipate having to argue with my as-yet-unfound future husband over which fandom we're giving our children names from.

Also, when you go to a party, and the pick-up lines go more like "what's your alignment?" than "what's your sign?"

Good thing that I have a boy name (picked from dr.who, and SO has a girl name from a sci-fi book, and neither of us object to the other one. But that would be for fictional, as yet to determine if we want one, with each-other, kids.)

While telling my SO yesterday that I'm always in need/want of a kiss I told him it was a constant, like f(x)=yes. I'm not even sure if what I said made sense and is a constant (tho I think it is?), but it made him grin ear to ear, he's the math wizz .

BF and I had the following conversation this morning (bg note: we met online. This is relevant).

Me: ::something about the aesthetic of classic Star Wars vs. the new Star Wars with reference to the 2009 Star Trek movie::BF: I can't believe I've shacked up with such a nerd.Me: Hey, there was a picture of me on my OKCupid profile dressed as Malcolm Reynolds. You were warned.BF: ...that's fair.

It should be noted that BF is also a massive nerd. We spent last night watching the 2009 Star Trek movie and trying to play a drinking game wherein we took a sip each time there was a lens flare. We gave up about 20 minutes in, realizing that we would be, at the very least, blackout drunk by the end if we kept going.
